How we worked it out

  1. Energy per hour: 1,000 W ÷ 1,000 = 1 kWh
  2. Cost per hour: 1 kWh × $0.145 = $0.145
  3. Cost per day: × 8 hours = $1.16
  4. Month and year: × 30 days = $34.80, × 365 days = $423.40

About ductless mini split running costs

Mini-split power varies widely with capacity, efficiency and outdoor conditions. Rated input watts or the energy label gives a better estimate than cooling BTUs alone.

Typical sizes: 700 W, 1,000 W, 1,500 W, 2,500 W.

How to spend less: Clean indoor filters and set a steady temperature instead of frequent large changes.

What this estimate assumes

  • The appliance draws its full stated wattage the whole time it is on. Real units with a thermostat cycle off and cost less.
  • Wattage is the typical label value, not a measured value. Check the label on your own appliance.
  • The rate is an approximate residential average in Kansas. Your bill may include fixed fees, tiers or time-of-use pricing. Edit the rate above.
  • A month is 30 days and a year is 365 days.
